Do I "NEED" a SES Server for SIP Trunk? 2

[leftyx]

Hello all, I want to set up a couple of SIP trunks from my provider. I have Avaya CM Aura 6.1. I was thinking of using Cisco CUBE as the SBC. So given those componets, would I still need to buy a SES from Avaya?

Would the connection between Cisco CUBE and Avaya be a SIP trunk or H323?

If anyone has some doc's for setup of this or similar that would be great!

6.1 can do direct SIP Trunks. I don't know which trunk Cisco Cube would use.

No, I've used a direct connection to a CUBE from Avaya (and also using session manager)

>Would the connection between Cisco CUBE and Avaya be a SIP trunk or H323?
I use SIP

AFAICR, there are no major gotcha's (unless you are using the CUBEs in a HA cluster) then it gets a bit narly with the interface bindings

Awesome info guys/gals! Thanks so much.

Anyone have a doc showing the setup?

Direct SIP trunks CAN work. One of the main issues is that CM only supports a TLS or a TCP trunk type. I've run into times where the other end will only do UDP trunks, and efforts have to stop right there...

This isn't for V5.2.1, but isn't significantly different.
